Posted on 16 Feb 2010 by PCW WINNIPEG, MB - Robby Royce has made it official - he wants Steve Corino in the ring to finish their nearly decade-long issue and he wants him at the biggest event of the year, PCW's Eighth Anniversary Spectacular! No other feud in the country has ever had the intensity, personal issues, violence and longevity of Royce/Corino! It began on April 21st 2001 when Royce defeated Corino for the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship. Only days later, Corino captured the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Things were quiet until August 4th 2005 when Corino defended the AWA World Heavyweight Championship against Royce at PCW's Beat The Summer Heat! "Mr Wrestling" avenged the loss of five years earlier, defeating Royce in a very bloody battle that had lasting ramifications. Several days later, Steve lost the AWA World Heavyweight Championship when the scars from his war in Winnipeg burst open and the Athletic Commission stopped the bout. Publicly, Corino didn't blame Royce, but privately, he seethed. He regained the title and returned to Winnipeg in December 2005 to face the then-PCW Heavyweight Champion Royce and NWA Canadian X Division Champion Rawskillz in a triple threat match. Royce and Corino fought all over the building, pushing eah other past the point of exhaustion allowing Skillz to secure the victory. In the years since, both Royce and Corino have publicly expressed respect and admiration for each other but it's been clear the issue of who's better has never gone away. As time passed, a resolution to that burning question seemed more and more unlikely to come to fruition. And the events of Season's Beatings seemed to have eliminated that possibility for good as Royce announced he had asked the "King of Old School" to return to Winnipeg to be his partner against the Alliance of Defiance at New Years Knockout! However, the aftermath of the first great event of 2010 set both men on an inevitable collision course to finally ending the war. Reminiscent of PCW's past epic events, Commencement of Cool and Culmination of Cool, Royce called it the "Culmination of Hate" and demanded Corino face him at the Eighth Anniversary Spectacular. He's given Corino until Thunderstruck to give him an answer... Will Steve Corino accept the challenge to engage in a battle ten years in the making? Find out at Thunderstruck!
